Not a single female philosopher on the front page. I think this should be more balanced.
We have different front pages? I'm seeing Katalin Balog, Marya Schechtman, Amie Lynn Thomasson.
Weirdly, few of the "front page" videos appear in the "all videos" listing: https://ergo.org/videos
and I'm not seeing a search for option (for, say, Graham Priest on modern mathematical logic, etc.)
They appear to be “coming soon”. While I’m sure there’s a lot of interesting stuff they say, I too hope that the exclusively male and white selection of lecturers (and presumably philosophies!) is an artefact of how young the site is.
Or "Join Mailing List" (which I'll give the benefit of the doubt to and assume they have these lectures, just gate keeping them).
But yes, it's a sparse site for long form philosophy, particularly given the existence of Plato.
Err, website Plato, that is, not the Monty Python soccer player.
Plato on Plato: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/plato/
Plato V Leibniz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfduUFF_i1A
Agreed! The world is a little unbalanced in this way right now unfortunately.
This is sick where have you been all my life!
nice some buffering issues though (internet connection is fine)
Oh this is fantastic actually - and I was expecting slop - very well done.
